In a world where no one wants to make sitcoms anymore because they require both talent and money, you'd think just about anything would be welcomed with open arms. That's until you watch a couple episodes of Extended Family. No spoilers but the setup is dumb, the writing is sophomoric at best, and the jokes are about as funny as getting kicked in the groin for 20 minutes. I imagine the writing room being a handful of twenty-somethings who never enjoyed experiencing the golden age of the TV sitcom pitching ideas that they think are original and even a bit progressive yet this is the output - a show that's not just bad but offensively and painfully bad. If you have the strength to sit through more than one episode of this dreck you're far stronger than I am.
